Security error after migrating to 4.0.3

ghan Oct 26, 2005 10:29 AM

Hi,

I'm migrating our application from 4.0.1 SP1 to 4.0.3. I've applied our application specific changes to the 4.0.3 configuration files: server.xml, jboss-web.xml, and login-config.xml. The app can start but when I attempt a login, I get

ERROR [JaasSecurityManagerService] Failed to create sec mgr
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.jboss.security.plugins.JaasSecurityManagerService.newSecurityDomainCTX(JaasSecurityManagerService.java:527)...

I can't seem to find anything obvious that would cause this. I've specified a security domain in the jboss-web.xml. I've also specified the corresponding application policy in login-config.xml. I have not modified jboss-service.xml but I have verified that there are SecurityConfig, XMLLoginConfig, and JaasSecurityManager mbeans configured.

Are there changes to how security is configured in 4.0.3 that I may be missing?

Thanks

Well the default classloader config that comes with jboss has changed since 4.0.2. Go to the deploy/tomcatx.sar/meta-inf folder.
open the service.xml and change the UseJBossclassloader to true and also set usejava2classloading to true.
Should do the trick

You have to have org.jboss.* classes in your deployment that should not be there for this to show up in the first place.

Hi scott,
Can you clarify this a little more, i am getting the same error but i am actually trying to port my application from JBoss 3.2.3 to JBoss 4.0.2.
Please tell me what all changes i need to make in the config to get the JASS security to work.

Thanks in advance,
Jobby
